Since 2000, where does Oregon stand among the best of the best in Big Ten Conference? Since 2000, where does Oregon stand among the best in Big Ten? DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Since the year 2000, few teams in the Big Ten have been as good as the Ducks when it comes to the AP rankings.

Oh great! Was hoping to get away from Pac-12 After Dark 😱. Yuck 🤮. Of course it will always be for now on 'Show Me the Money' 🤑. More dollars comes with a price of doing business. They want that night time inventory. But, will be better with the Big Ten then it was with the Pac-12. Washington fans need to tone it down. They haven't gotten into the Big Ten yet, already creating enemies. Illusion of Grandeur happening. If it wasn't for Oregon, Washington wouldn't have gotten in. It needed to be done as a team effort.

Tandaian quoted this in another post: "Autzen had a nice 17 year run during the Chip Kelly years of selling out end in 2016. I don't think we have had a streak of 2 games since. Expanding another 13,000 would work for 1 maybe 2 games a season. Plus, there are laws required for parking spaces. Adding 13,000 would require 3,250 more parking spaces. Where are they going to put those spaces? There are essentially 2 exits out of Autzen and traffic is already a nightmare. They have done a poor job of any sort of traffic flow for the last 5-7 years. Adding more cars will make it worse. It can take 2 hours to get out after the game." So there are logistical hurdles that would have to be made. But, it seems Rob Mullins, by mentioning it, Oregon must have a plan to handle it all. I guess we'll see.

The innovative minds along with deep pocket donors, Oregon will always be forward thinking. And with the coaching staff we have in place we'll always be a jump ahead of Washington. Dan Lanning is brilliant coach. The changes he's made for this year is a step up from last year. Yes, or offensive side will score a boat load of points. The biggest surprise will be on the defensive side as well as changes he's made in special teams. I feel we all will be pleasantly surprised. Yes, Washington's coach is very good, but not the best recruiter. We have an all around coach. Again, he has a brilliant coaching mind who can enormously recruit nationally. Being in the Big Ten will help Oregon's brand and fanbase grow. It will give Lanning all the tools he'll need to make Oregon great! Again, it's not just the money, yes that is a good part of it. But being in the Big Ten is also the visibility, the exposure and security. Let's face it, that deal with Apple was not good. Limited exposure, money not great, no security in the Pac-12. The Pac-12 leadership have made so many costly mistakes for this conference thru the years, including this next deal. It became shackles/dead weight for Oregon in money and exposure as well as security. There was no way around it. Both schools needed each other as a team to help make it happen. This was the right move for both universities. U. of Washington President on Big Ten Move: ’Not Just About Dollars and Cents’ “When you have a deal that people are saying that one of the best aspects are that you can get out of it in two years, that tells you a lot,” Cauce said, via ESPN’s Paolo Uggeti. “This was about national visibility for our players, being on linear TV so they can be seen, so they could have the national exposure. It was about stability. It was about having a future that we could count on and built towards.” For months, the Pac-12 had been looking for a new TV home, most recently negotiating with Apple on a media rights deal while it seemed as though none of the major networks had any interest. Meanwhile, the Big Ten will broadcast games on CBS, NBC and Fox every Saturday beginning this season. https://www.si.com/college/2023/08/06/washington-president-big-ten-move-not-just-about-dollars-cents

Ranking the Big Ten teams that we can't wait to see Oregon play Ranking the Big Ten teams that we can’t wait to see Oregon Ducks play DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Ducks have a slew of new rivalries that can be born in the next few years. Here are the Big Ten opponents we can’t wait to see Oregon play.

News Alert. After the news broke out about Oregon joining the Big Ten, something strange started happening. All mental wards throughout the country started filling up, all claiming to be USC fans.

That's what I got out of it from listening to the press conference. PD posted this: Everything Oregon president Karl Scholz and AD Rob Mullens said at Friday's press conference 247SPORTS.COM Following admittance into the Big 10 conference, University of Oregon president Karl Scholz and athletic director Rob Mullens held a press conference. Here is a full transcript.

It was interesting when at the press conference with the AD and President, question was asked about Autzen stadium redoing the North side. It's on the list to do. Maybe they will match the South side. I know there are other projects going on, like building the new practice facility,

I know this is behind a paywall from Canzano. Is he making amends for his remarks from his last article? See below what I could gleam. "Oregon left on Friday for the Big Ten. So did Washington. The Ducks and Huskies didn’t destroy the Pac-12. They didn’t blow up 108 years of history with one move. Get that out of your head today. Those things were the result of a decade-long failure of leadership within the conference. Oregon and Washington had a fiduciary duty to act in their best long-term interest."

The Pac-12's anticipated 2023 season has lost all magic with impending realignment departures The conference seems in position to possibly break a College Football Playoff drought that extends back to 2016. USC is back on the national radar with Lincoln Riley. It's going to be fun watching teams take their best shots at the Trojans on the way out of the door. And, again, Prime Time is in the conference now. Instead, the Pac-12 is on life support; only to be saved by some sort of potential merger with the Mountain West Conference and the remaining teams. Get ready for the Pac-Mountain Football. The demise of the Pac-12 has led to a social media outcry of how bad this is for college football and the romanticizing of West Coast football as a whole. Outside of the hard-core “Pac-12 After Dark" junkies, however, the ugly truth is the Pac-12 wasn't generating enough interest on television or for its star players. Look at the numbers on Sports Media Watch from the 2022 season: The Pac-12's anticipated 2023 season has lost all magic with impending realignment departures WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Perhaps this last season of Pac-12 play will be glorious. Those quarterbacks are going to play well. But will the Tournament of Roses have a parade – or a procession?

What were they saying from before? Oregon and Washington did not bring enough media value to the table when USC and UCLA were invited to go to the Big Ten? Evidently we do now 😆 FOX might have been able to exploit getting Oregon at a cheaper price. But I believe Oregon will have the last laugh, using the Big Ten and FOX as a platform to expand their brand. In a conversation with Bill Rabinowitz of The Columbus Dispatch, Smith revealed he had an inkling last week that things might start falling after a conversation with Colorado AD Rick George in Indianapolis. As for the new additions, Smith admitted Oregon and Washington bring major value to the B1G’s television partnerships. Gene Smith: B1G’s viewership with latest additions ‘is going to be ridiculous’ SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Gene Smith believes the latest additions of Oregon and Washington will bring the B1G's value to another level.

Hi Cicero. NJDuck here. Welcome to the OBD! When Oregon does come and play at Rutgers, will be attending the game. Will look forward to being part of the tailgate scene!

Oregon QB commit Luke Moga comments on Big Ten move The latest from the Ducks commit out of the state of Arizona... Oregon is officially headed to the Big Ten and it could not be a more exciting development for recruits like Luke Moga. The three-star quarterback from Phoenix (Ariz.) Sunnyslope committed to the Ducks in April, choosing Oregon over two dozen other scholarship offers, and was back in Eugene at the end of last month when the quiet period window opened. With realignment setting the college football landscape ablaze and the Ducks making the switch from the Pac-12, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound prospect now readies for his final high school season knowing he’s headed to play in a new conference. Oregon QB commit Luke Moga comments on Big Ten move 247SPORTS.COM The latest from the Ducks commit out of the state of Arizona...

Will bring Big 12 to 18 schools. Could the Big 12 for all pretense and purposes, for this one year only, are given the opportunity to add all these schools at the 31.7m according to the contractual agreement? It would be great if this could happen.

I guess these little signs of Brutus and Puddles were foretelling.
